Fifth - Seven Stars Long Yuan 图片 It is said that this sword was forged by two great swordsmen, Ou Yezi and Ganjiang. Ou Yezi and General Qian made the sword, cut open Cishan Mountain, released the mountain stream, and led it to seven pools surrounded by the Big Dipper next to the sword-making furnace, which are called "Seven Stars". After the sword is completed, looking down at the sword body is like climbing a high mountain and looking down into the abyss. It is ethereal and deep, as if there is a giant dragon lying on it. It's called "Long Yuan". Although the craftsmanship of this sword is exquisite, its fame is still due to ordinary fishermen who cannot know its real name: Yuzhangren. It is said that Wu Zixu was killed by a treacherous minister and fled to the end of the world. He was chased by Chu soldiers and horses. On this day of desolation, he fled to the bank of the Yangtze River and saw only the mighty river and its vast waves. There was a heavy flood in front of him, and there were pursuers behind him. When he was extremely anxious, Wu Zixu found a small boat coming rapidly upstream. The fisherman on the boat repeatedly called him to get on the boat. After Wu Zixu got on the boat, the boat quickly disappeared into the reeds and disappeared. The pursuers left in anger. The fisherman carried Wu Zixu to the shore and gave him food and wine. Wu Zixu thanked the fisherman profusely and asked him his name. The fisherman laughed and said that he was wandering on the waves. What was the use of his name? He could just call him "Yu Zhang Ren" , Wu Zixu thanked and said goodbye, walked a few steps, turned around with concerns, and took off the sword passed down by his ancestors for three generations from his waist: Qixing Longyuan. He wanted to give this sword worth a thousand gold to his father-in-law to express his gratitude, and asked his father-in-law not to betray him. After revealing his whereabouts, Yu Zhangren took the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword, looked up to the sky and sighed, and said to Wu Zixu: I saved you just because you are a loyal and good man of the country, and I have no intention of repaying you. Now, you still suspect me of being greedy for profit and trustless, so I have to use this sword to show my nobility. After saying that, he cut himself with his sword. Wu Zixu felt inexplicably regretful. The story can be found in "Wu Yue Chun Qiu". Qixing Longyuan is a sword of integrity and purity. Sword Qi Laser Index: 8.8 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fourth - Tai'a 图片 The capital of Chu State has been besieged by Jin soldiers and horses for three years. The Jin State sent troops to attack Chu because they wanted to obtain the Chu State's national treasure: Tai'a Sword. Everyone says that the Tai'a sword was forged by two great swordsmen, Ou Yezi and Ganjiang. But the two masters did not think so. They said that the Tai'a Sword was a sword of the power of the princes that had already existed, but it was invisible and traceless. However, the sword energy had already existed between heaven and earth, and it was just waiting for the opportunity to condense, and the three paths of time, place, and people were unified, and the sword was completed. The Jin State was the most powerful at that time, and the King of Jin certainly believed that he was the most qualified to get this sword. However, contrary to expectations, the sword was forged in the weak Chu State. When the sword was taken out, the word "Tai'a" in seal script was naturally engraved on the sword body, which shows that what Ou Ye and Gan Jiang said was true. Of course, the King of Jin could not swallow this breath, so he asked the King of Chu for a sword, but the King of Chu refused, so the King of Jin sent troops to attack Chu, intending to take the opportunity to destroy the Chu State in the name of asking for the sword. Due to the huge disparity in military strength, most of Chu's cities quickly fell and the capital was surrounded, leaving them trapped for three years. The city is running out of food and grass, and there is no military and military equipment left. The situation is at stake. On this day, the Jin State sent an envoy to issue an ultimatum: If you don't hand over the sword again, the city will be captured tomorrow, and everyone will be destroyed by then! The King of Chu was unyielding and ordered you to go to the city to kill the enemy tomorrow. If the city is destroyed, you will kill yourself with this sword. Then you will pick up the sword, ride a horse to the big lake, sink the sword to the bottom of the lake, and let the Tai'a sword stay in Chu forever. At dawn the next day, the King of Chu climbed to the top of the city and saw Jin soldiers and horses outside the city covering the sky. His capital was like a small boat in the ocean, in danger of being destroyed at any time. The soldiers and horses of the Jin State began to attack the city. The shouts were like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, and the city was about to be destroyed. The King of Chu held the sword in both hands and sighed: Tai'a sword, Tai'a sword, I will use my own blood to sacrifice you today! So, he drew his sword out of its scabbard and pointed it directly at the enemy.An incredible miracle occurred: a majestic sword energy shot out, and suddenly flying sand and stones covered the sky outside the city. It seemed like a beast was roaring among them. The Jin army was in chaos. After a while, the flag fell to the ground, bleeding for thousands of miles, and the entire army was wiped out... After this incident, the King of Chu summoned Feng Beard, a wise man in the country, and asked: Why is the Tai'a sword so powerful? Feng Beard replied: The Tai'a sword is a sword of majesty, and the power of the heart is the real power. The king's unyielding might in the face of adversity is an outstanding expression of the power of the heart. It is the king's inner power that inspires the power of the Tai'a sword! Found in "Yue Jueshu". The Tai'a sword is a majestic sword. Sword Qi Laser Index: 9.3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Third - Chi Xiao 图片 During the Qin Dynasty, there was such a young man who had no future and was full of problems. He is lazy and never does the farm work at home. He was a drinker and would often get drunk into a puddle. He is lustful and can't move his legs when he sees a beautiful girl. He has no manners and is careless with both officials and people. The most annoying thing is that he lies and brags a lot. He often asked people to see the seventy-two black moles on his left leg. He did not say that they were skin diseases, but that they were celestial diagrams. He often looked at Xianyang from a distance, shook his head and sighed: Alas, this is what a man should do! His lies were getting more and more outrageous. He got a rusty iron rod from nowhere and told the villagers that it was a sword he got from the Nanshan Immortal, and its name was Chi Xiao. He regards it as a treasure and never leaves his body with the "sword" all day long. He also said that he was not a human but a red dragon in the sky. His braggadocio got louder and louder. He said that he had known the First Emperor for a long time, and that the First Emperor was a white dragon. He also said that the First Emperor was inferior to him because he was a red dragon with more power, and he would replace him and become the emperor in the future. He also said that he knew that the First Emperor's vitality had turned into a white snake and was swimming around Fengxize recently. He said he wanted to kill the white snake, and he gestured with the iron rod he picked up. People regarded his words as jokes and big words, and no one believed them. However, one night, everything changed. That night, dozens of young people from the countryside who had gone to work as apprentices in the county walked to Fengxi Ze. This young man was among them, but he did not go to work but to join in the fun. He took out a wine bottle and drank while walking. This group of people stopped when they reached Fengxi Ze. Strangely enough, recently, people who went to the county to work as apprentices often disappeared inexplicably near Fengxi Ze. Therefore, to be on the safe side, everyone sent an agile young man to walk a few steps ahead. He went to inquire about it, but after a while, the spy was so frightened that he fled back. He said that he smelled a faint fishy smell in front of him after walking for a while, so he climbed up a big tree and looked around, and saw a huge and vicious white snake blocking the road, as if waiting for something. The crowd was shocked and no longer dared to move forward. At this time, the young man separated from the others and walked forward. He said that the white snake was waiting for him and he would kill it. As he spoke, he pulled out the iron rod and staggered. It seemed that he had been drinking all the way and was now drunk. People held their breaths and watched his crooked back, saying in their hearts: This silly boy... One night passed, and this young man did not come back. People knew that he must have become a delicious meal for snakes. The clouds cleared and the fog cleared, and everyone moved on. After walking for a while, they suddenly saw a huge white snake, which was cut into two parts and thrown on the roadside. After walking a few miles further, I found the young man lying on the roadside, soundly asleep. There was a cloud covering his body, and a red dragon was flying lazily around in the cloud. The iron rod in his hand disappeared, replaced by a sword decorated with colorful beads and nine-flower jade, with a cold light and a blade like frost and snow. Two seal characters were clearly engraved on the sword: Chi Xiao. At this moment, everyone believed that what the young man said was true. This young man is Liu Bang. This sword is the Chixiao Sword of the Snake Rebellion. The Red Sky Sword is an imperial sword.Sword Qi Laser Index: 9.7 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Second - Zhan Lu 图片 Zhan Lu is both a sword and an eye. Zhan Lu: Zhan Zhan is black. This completely black long sword makes people feel not its sharpness, but its generosity and kindness. It is like a deep and discerning black eye of God, watching every move of the kings and princes. If the king has the right way and the sword is at his side, the country will prosper. If the ruler is unruly, the sword will fly away and the country will be ruined. The essence of hardware is the essence of the sun. When it comes out, there is spirit, and when it is obeyed, there is power. When Ou Yezi forged the sword, he couldn't help crying while holding it, because he finally fulfilled his lifelong dream: to forge an indestructible weapon without any murderous intent. The so-called benevolent is invincible. Zhanlu Sword is a sword of benevolence. Sword Qi Laser Index: 10 First - Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword 图片 The copper collected by the gods from Shou Mountain was cast by the Yellow Emperor and later passed down to Xia Yu. One side of the sword is engraved with the sun, moon and stars, and the other side is engraved with mountains, rivers and vegetation. On one side of the sword's hilt is written the art of farming and raising livestock, and on the other side is written the strategy of unifying the four seas. Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword! What else can we say about such a sword. Huangdi, Xia Yu! What else can we say about these two people. Courage, wisdom, benevolence... everything comes down to two words: the holy way. The Xuanyuan Xia Yu sword is a sword of the holy way. Sword energy lasing index: infinite.
